Glaze Hardness

Glaze Hardness

The relative hardness of glazed tile is an important issue that should be addressed when selecting a tile. The test is performed by scratching the surface of the tile with different minerals and subjectively assigning a Method of Hardness "MOH's" number to the glaze. The softest mineral used is talc (a #1 rating if no scratch), the hardest is a diamond (a #10 rating if no scratch). Other minerals of varying hardness that provide MOH's values of five or greater are suitable for most residential floor applications while a value of seven or greater is normally recommended for commercial applications. Both abrasion resistance and glaze hardness should be addressed when considering using glazed tiles as floor products.

Shade & Texture Variation

Variations in size, color, texture, and pattern are to expected in ceramic flooring.
In fact, they should be enjoyed. These variations are part of what makes ceramic
tile such a unique and beautiful choice for your home.

Each Shaw Ceramic flooring product is labeled for shade and color variation with
one of the following ratings:

Low – Consistent shade and texture

Moderate
– Moderate shade and texture variation

High – High
shade and texture variation

Random – Very high shade
and texture variation

For a neat, contemporary-looking tile floor, choose a tile with a low shade and
texture rating. A tile with a high or random shade and texture rating will achieve
a more casual, rustic effect.
